WHEREAS, existing LPG rules and regulations prescribe that appointing/supplying LPG dealers or sub-dealers shall be responsible for obtaining the licenses, and paying for the license fees, of all their retail outlet operators for the privilege of engaging in the LPG business;

WHEREAS, reports on the routine field inspections conducted by ERB Regulation Officers divulge that a substantial number of LPG retail outlets sell or offer for sale different brands of LPG thus making it difficult for the Board to ascertain the particular dealer who should be held responsible for the payment of the required license fee;

WHEREAS, the Board has felt the need to keep an updated and accurate list of dealers with their appointed retail outlets for the Board ™s guidance in the imposition and collection of license fees;

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, as it is HEREBY RESOLVED, to require, as this Board HEREBY REQUIRES each and every LPG dealer/sub-dealer and his/her retail outlet operator to execute a joint sworn statement to the effect that said appointed retail outlet is not a retail outlet of any other supplier/dealer/sub-dealer and submit a copy thereof to this Board within five (5) days from receipt of a copy of this Resolution in the case of a retail outlet already registered and in the case of a newly appointed retail outlet, upon registration thereof.

Let copies of this Resolution be furnished the oil companies which are hereby directed to cause the dissemination of the contents hereof to their respective LPG suppliers/dealers/sub-dealers/retailers.

This Resolution shall take effect immediately.
